Brown Bamboo Guest house & jungle trekking orang-utan

We loved our stay here! The bed was super comfortable, everything was nice and clean, there’s good wifi, the food at the restaurant was very good…. we had all we asked for. But what we liked most was the attention of the family. They all helped us in all we needed and made it very easy. It is a small guest house with a few rooms only, which makes it very calm, but anyways they were able to exceed all our expectations. From arranging the orangutan tour, all transportations, hive us food when needed, do laundry, paying with credit card and even give us a scooter. Thank you for your kindness!

To say something, there is no hot water. But you are in a remote village in Sumatra so expect that almost everywhere you go

Nous avons apprécié la gentillesse des hôtes, ils nous aidé à organiser notre trajet depuis Medan mais également le trajet du retour à l'aéroport ! Le logement est situé au calme, proche de la rivière et du départ pour le trek dans la jungle. Possibilité de louer un scooter sur place et de faire sa lessive, ce qui est très pratique. La chambre est grande et dispose d'une petite terasse privée, c'est un très bon rapport qualité-prix, je recommande ! PS : Un grand merci à Jasu, notre guide pour le trek dans la jungle ! Il a été très impliqué et prévenant ! Nous avons passé des bons moments avec lui et avons eu de bonnes discussions, nous le recommandons si vous cherchez un guide !

Boek niet deze maar andere leuke guesthouses in Bukit Lawang (bijv. Bukit Lawang Hill Resort en Rambai Tree Jungle Lodges.)

Onvriendelijke en zeer ongastvrije eigenaren. Na uitleg dat we alleen wilden overnachten werd onze boeking de dag voor aankomst gecanceld. Ze waren ervan overtuigd dat we een jungle trekking via een bureau hadden geboekt, wat niet het geval was maar we waren niet welkom. Onacceptabel! Als je ongastvrij bent, vraag ik me af waarom je een guesthouse wilt runnen.

We stayed at Brown Bamboo for 4 nights and we can’t thank enough for Gia and his lovely wife for making our stay really special!The rooms are basic but you have everything what you would need!Super friendly and kind host!They even invited us to join them for a wedding in a village!Gia organised our jungle trekking which is a memory I will never forget!Our guides Gesu and Borneo are the best!!!the jungle trekk with the hot-humid weather is very hard but it is worth every second of it and they will look after you in every step of the way!we saw many orangutans,some very close to us!!!Sleeping in a jungle is very surreal ,but being and sleeping in nature is a one of a kind experience!Gia also organised a trip to Tangakhan where you can wash the elephants in the river and feed them!Great experience! I would absolutely recommend Brown Bamboo guests house if you looking for a friendly and familiar place ! Thank you Gia and family for making our stay really special!

During 3 days in the forest we were very satisfied with the great guide service. We saw many orangutans, monkeys, peacocks and other animals.

there's nothing I don't like, I like everything

I like the place, it is very comfortable, the bathroom, toilet, bedroom are all very neat and fragrant, I really feel at home and I will definitely come back again

nothing, everything is satisfactory

The place is comfortable, so it's nice and clean, the owner is friendly, hopefully we can meet again, Thank you

Great place to trek from.Room was great, mosquito netting in great shape, quiet. Gil can set up trek of desired length, shared taxi back to airport as well. Food and serve staff good. Only minus was room rate almost doubled from before trek to after. I requested rate before I used the room after, but got a "wait". Better communication on rate needed, as changes happen, but tell the customer.
